Paul Kent

[Craig Johnston]

Am I the only one who notices how many 'facts' this guy gets wrong?
He passes himself off as all knowing but gets basic things wrong in doing so.

Example 1: he was talking about Manny Pacquiao on triple m the other day and refered to him as Indonesian. He then went on to talking about how much he and his culture like karaoke, and said he witnessed this when he was in Thailand.
By a fking map you gimp And read a few books.

Example 2: he was on NRL360 last night and refered to Michael Bisping as an ex UFC champion. The would be like calling the sharks an ex NRL champion; it hasnt happened and doesn't look like happening any time soon.

I don't have a problem with ppl making mistakes, but this guy says things with a smarmy look on his face and passes himself off as an expert.

i tweeted him straight after to call him out :lol: will be stoked if the count retweets it.

for a passionate fight "officionado" it does make you cringe

 

[ggmu]

Leave Bisping alone he is a champ in my eyes haha. But he might have got "champion" mixed up with TUF winner. But yeah Kent is still a dickhead.

 

[DiegoNT]

It's amazing how much he gets wrong, I hope no one takes his facts as gospel. My example is at the end of Tuesdays show they showed a photo of afl player matthew stokes in a rabbitohs cap. Kent got up and said in his very matter of factly way of speaking that it's because rabbitohs have become a fashion symbol and that's the only reason an afl player would wear the cap. Matthew stokes is actually a huge nrl fan and has said in many interviews that he's a massive rabbitohs fan and the first thing he does after an afl match is try catch up on the rabbitohs and nrl matches. But kent knows it all and he only wore it because it's fashionable

speaking of combat sports, i just realised the other day i haven't seen aussie kickboxing events like evolution on foxtel for ages. what's the go with that? need more Michael Schiavello and quotes like more hooks than a pirate convention and more combos than a chinese mcdonalds restaurant

I like when he tries to talk over Michael Ennis in NRL 360, Michael puts him back in his place quick smart...

 

[Jimmy-o]

The funniest thing on 360 is whenever Ben Ikin ribs Kent about his 1 first grade game for Parramatta and Kent's like 'I don't like to talk about it' and shuts up completely.

 

[jamaman]

Ikin and Kent the odd couple

 

[AJB1102]

I've had my fill of this dickhead and his spotty mate on 360. I could go to the pub and find two half-pissed blokes who watch the occasional game of footy and get just as much insight out of their opinionated ramblings.

 

[Craig Johnston]

not a fan of the same "guests" turning up every week too.

 

[Mr Saab]

My Favourite Kent was when he said Bellamy was gone during the 2010 salary cap drama...

2015...Bellamy still punching windows in the coaches box.

I love a good Kent

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I like when he tries to talk over Michael Ennis in NRL 360, Michael puts him back in his place quick smart...

I like it when Kent would come up with an idea or suggestion for players but Ennis would backhand it immediately as he would not understand it from a players perspective.

and you've had an easy name for the show

 

[nrlnrl]

Maybe this show or others could have a different idea for guests. To be fair, rotate the teams so they all have an even go, but just pick the names of players out of a hat.

Dont get me wrong. I like Bisping, but I am sure he would be the first to pull someone up if they called him the ex UFC champ. I think he was a cagerage champ at one stage, but thats like being a NSW Cup Champion. It would have been a nice feeling at the time, but no one really gives a shyt about it.

Thats a perfect example of how he does it, he gets things half right (the rabits becoming a fashional brand) but then misses the actual point of the guy wearing it being a massive rrabits fan.
Same with my PacMan and Bisping examples, he was half right in Manny being asian, and bisping being an ex champ, but he got the country Manny was from wrong and what Bisping was champ in wrong.
there is no problem in him getting things wrong, but don't say it with such conviction if you are not 100% on your facts.

 

[Perth Red]

I'm over it already, like being on repeat they are on so much and usually talking about the same things. Cheap arse programming by Fox. I like the show but this year is overkill.

 

[Aus_Dog]

Can't stand the way Paul Kent interviews. He always says "The fans want to know". He doesn't speak for the fans. He certainly doesn't speak for me

kent and sterling went at it last night post danny wicks interview, if kent told sterlo he went too soft on him, i agree.

 

[El Diablo]

Kent is a c**k

that's not what he was upset about http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...l-change-the-nrl-forever-20150430-1mx0v0.html

Sterling effort

The paint is still peeling off the walls at Fox Sports' Artarmon headquarters after an explosive argument between colleagues Paul Kent and Peter Sterling.

They haven't sent each other Christmas cards for many years, and the relationship apparently hasn't improved even though they are now in the same stable. Kent is co-host of NRL 360 alongside Ben Ikin, while Sterling hosts his own show, Sterlo.

At the heart of the dispute is Sterling's interview with reformed drug dealer Danny Wicks on Wednesday night, and an interview he did earlier this year with Darius Boyd.

Kent believed the Wicks interview had been secured for his show. Sterling has reportedly denied the claim he went behind his stablemate's back.

On Wednesday afternoon, in the Fox Sports offices, the creative tension bubbled over, with Kent and Sterling engaging in some colourful tongue-fu, much to the surprise of nearby colleagues.

Neither Kent nor Sterling wanted to comment when contacted on Wednesday.

i'd still have preferred kent have done that interview, with sterlo it never seemed to flow, wicks clearly didn't want to open up and sterlo was too kind to press him. kent would have at least got wicks fired up
